[thoughtfully,] Historical precedent after an upheaval as large as a Blight is often a return to orthodoxy--a purifying of the faith as people turn back to the Maker's own for succor. Though things had a way of lurching forward during gaps in power, even so.
Though one can't make much of the Nevarran Accord as reform when the Chantry had scarcely existed before it came into being.
Regardless, she's older than Divine Rosamund was to start and one could hardly ask for a better comparison, should we be looking to a Divine with compassion for Thedas' weakest and broken. Sincere faith, charisma, and a commitment to restoring the Circles, [as badly as that might go and as loud as some would screech,] would answer those needs neatly.
It strikes me that experience and connections may be resources easier for us to foster than certain traits of personality or a desirable attitude toward the Inquisition. If, of course, we've time.
